God if we could get our money back on elphick I'd be laughing

What a disaster the new spine we bought last summer was: Gollini elphick Tshibola McCormack

The buys at the back end were better for whatever reason

[SoccerHQ]

He only cost 3m didn't he?

Shouldn't be that difficult. We're not talking about a McCormack deal here.

Elphick had a decent few games to begin with and then he just fell apart.  He looked physically shot, devoid of confidence and looked capable of making a howler at any moment.

What happened?

[LeeB]

I would wish him on them, but I wouldn't wish them on him.

[mr underhill]

yet another RDM signing that should never have happened.

[brian green]

I was not aware that he had had a personal tragedy.  Perhaps we are being too hard on him.

[go on the dog]

I see Edna Stevens will be back at Villa Park next year in a Sheff.Utd kit

[ChicagoLion]

I heard that he had a family bereavement even though it was not reported widely.
